I had been wearing this identity "I'm a Scientologist" for too long.
Now I simply say, I am NOT a Scientologist".
Not that I'm an Independent Scientologist, not that I'm a FreeZoner (to me being a Free "Zoner* is just the same oxymoron as "Independent Scientologist" because how can one be FREE in the *zone*? )
To me now having been in Scientology is like having been at school. I was there, I learned there, I left there.
I still know, am friendly and can and communicate/deal with my classmates (they are not "ex" to me). I don't need to argue with them. They are what they are. I am what I am. Each one of us can have a life he wants.
Little of my life story:
Read Dianetics in August 1993.
Joined S.O. in Moscow (Walter Cotric was CO) almost immediately after being offered in March 1994.
In SO in Moscow worked in New Era and then (having redone EPF in 1995) worked as a Qual Word Clearer/FDSer (my favorites job there, BTW)
In 1997 was selected with another SO Member and sent to USA (LA) to get trained for SuperPower. There it turned out that the intenton was to get more people to Gold (we got confused as it was quite opposite to our intention "to get trained and get back to Russia to audit staff SuperPower", as we were told by then CO Richard Fear and his Deputy Zee Fear).
In Sept 1997 I went to Flag where got some training and sec checks... They turned me down ("not qualified"). There I was under Gold office FLB (William Tucker was D/CO I). In January 1998 they returned me to LA.
(Sorry, I'm using too much of Passive Voice... Well, that's how it's in S.O.... You are passive, "they" are active)
On January 16, 1998, I landed in Gold Office WUS, under Joanne..(? - forgot last name).
Then (couple months later) went to MEAM (Metroplitan Equipment Acquisition Mission - group set up in LA by LRH to acquire stuff for Gold/Int). There I worked until January 2003. Then decks (out-2D). Then Comm Ev. Then PAC RPF (from March 2003). Then RPF's RPF (August). Offloaded and sent back to Moscow on September 11, 2003.
That was the end of my Sea Org career (but as usually with a program to return. via PRF... being OTIII and Class IV).
Sorry, hard to write all-in-one. Will return with more of "how it was" vs. "how it is".
Please do comment. I like this wonderful community.
To underline again: i'm not a scientologist.
